Week 2 of the baby's outside existence commences. Much the same as before; he nurses a lot, sleeps a lot, cries a little. We've had family coming over to visit all the time, bringing lots of goodies for the guy. The apartment has just exploded in baby clothes! It's everywhere. He still sleeps in bed with us so he has easy access to mommy's milkbags during the night. His crib has for the most part been extra storage for clothes and blankets. Our three cats love this arrangement and keep sneaking into the crib to sleep on the laundry.

Well, one day as we were changing the little prince in bed I looked over and, without thinking, stated "The cat's in the cradle."

Now, my wife claims that she still can't grasp the fact that we have our very own baby, forever and ever. She's mostly still just shocked about the delivery; but we're doing a good job of taking care of him. What struck me, though, when I uttered that line is that this wee little baby, who spends so much time suckling boobies, making scrunchy faces and pooing, is eventually going to turn into a person. He's going to be somebody, with his own personality, his own thoughts, his own future.

That is what I'm having a hard time comprehending. for now, though, I'm just enjoying my little man while he's still small, easily handleable and can't talk back.
Though the little bugger does manage to backhand me occasionally!

Nine months into the parenting gig, and Mr. Ambrya occasionally looks at me and asks, "can you believe we have our own little person?"

Astonishingly, Deb, the wonder never actually ceases. It just continues to get increasingly leavened with annoyances.

methinks lack of sleep has made Deb as emo as he is. Give him a break. He'll return to his normal narcissic self once the terrible twos kick in

Sounds like you're enjoying the whole Daddy role. =)

I have long held the opinion that the thing which killed the Assylum is that you bunch of genital-wielding cUnts had babies.

Look back; it's clear that you baby-fielding whores had babies and then everyone got all kissy-feely and ****. Once Tare birthed Jack, everything went to ****. At least she held out till the second child before she started valuing every cockmouth that decided to wander into this forum.

Am I the only one who misses the vitriol? Am I the only one who still thinks miscarriage jokes are funny?

You all suck. FUck you and the stork you rode in on.

So how long until you're a mother?

If only your father had been as responsible as I.

The baby threads are definitely not a highlight.

The only threads worse than the ones bragging about their babies are the ones self-righteously bragging about their parenting skills.

You'll be even more amazed how quickly this starts to happen too. =(

Enjoy the wee baby stage - it goes by ultra fast.

Riiight. Like you wouldn't be glad to be in that club, circumstances allowing. I've never joined the miscarriage bandwagon, Katie, but I've also never known you to be a hypocrite.

Listen, I have yet to shoot out crotchfruit, but you single units/nonproducers out there just be happy that the parents even find time for this shit. Having a child is (I hear) taking a step outside yourself and never quite thinking you're that important again. I'm about 3/4 of the way there with a stepchild, and were I to have a biological child that required all of my attention due to some unfortunate circumstance, the stupid forum would be the last thing on my mind.

Meh, if I wanted to read the most recent updates on acquaintances kids I'd actually pay attention to the Christmas letters I receive in the mail every year. Call me bitter (in honesty this could be it), but I'd rather read "The Great Gabji vs. Smash" debate most days. I think kids are great, I don't mind the "Hey meet the new family member" posts, I'm just not a fan of all the "ZOMG my kid is Einstein" posts that follow.

He already is. He just doesn't have a way to say so.

Yet.
